Project Two

 

Radiate

    For this project, I painted my classmate Kiera with an “aura” around her, calling the piece Radiate. I wanted to capture her vibrant, talkative personality through warm tones, strong contrasts, and flowing shapes. The aura shows her energy radiating outward, affecting everything around her. Through color, tone, and careful composition, I aimed to express her brightness and confidence without relying on details, showing how design can communicate personality and mood.

Project one

Sound waves using black ink 

For my two-dimensional design project, I explored sound waves and rhythm using black ink. I used flowing, curved lines to capture the movement of music, creating a sense of rhythm and energy. This project showed me how line, shape, and repetition work together to build a cohesive composition, and how simple elements can visually express complex ideas.

Favorite 2D/4D artwork

 

I picked the Starry Night as my favorite 2D artwork because you can see the flow within the image, and you can see the different textures made along with the different shapes that were used.

Dinner and a Movie

What is left unsaid 

digital image 

inspired by Saltburn

With this photograph, I wanted to explore the theme of secrecy and emotional isolation. I visually selected and arranged objects, a bowl of cereal, coffee, a knife, and scattered keys, to depict a narrative of things hidden beneath the surface. The keys represent access and denial, hinting at personal or emotional spaces that remain locked. The knife adds a sense of unspoken threat or tension, while the cereal in coffee reflects emotional heaviness and the weight of silence. Inspired by Saltburn’s moody undertones and the tension between appearance and reality, I placed these objects in natural, uneven grass to emphasize discomfort and vulnerability. Every element was chosen to communicate the idea of what is left unsaid, what we carry, but never reveal.

I looked at the work of photographer Gregory Crewdson, whose staged, cinematic images often explore themes of isolation, suspense, and emotional stillness. His use of symbolic props and deliberate lighting inspired the way I positioned objects in my own image to

 create tension and unease. Like Crewdson, I wanted to suggest a larger narrative through subtle, carefully chosen visual details.

I was inspired by stills from Saltburn that emphasize wealth, secrecy, and emotional distance within extravagant spaces. One particular shot that stood out shows a lavish room dimly lit, with antique furniture and shadows hinting at something hidden beneath the surface. This sense of quiet tension and the contrast between beauty and discomfort influenced my photograph. I recreated that mood by placing symbolic objects, keys, a gun, and a bowl of stones outdoors in harsh natural light, reflecting a raw, exposed version of internal conflict.

building 1

Arches, brick placement, and the color of the brick against the cement make the wall more than just a straight line. There is depth, uneven bricks. The details on the wall,  the detail on the roof, and the top of the building. Millionaires built mansions filled with art and beautiful objects. Significant growth in American painting, sculpture, architecture, and decorative arts. A transformative era that shaped modern America.

building 2

The detail on every side of the building is different, and the texture changes throughout the building
The ceiling also has details with lights that hang to give it a more serious effect 

The height of the building is such that when you look from different angles, you see new parts of the building stands as a memorial to Henry Flagler's daughter, Jennie Louise, and was dedicated in 1890 designed by Carrère and Hastings, the same architects who built the Ponce de Leon Hotel. 

A monument to Flagler's own faith and vision
